While  we  are  young,  a  year  seems  a  long 
time  ;  but  when  we  are  old,  years  seem  short.

HORSE. 


Horses  draw  the  plough,  the  wagon,  ete.<, 
and  carry  people  on  their  backs.  They  are 
very  useful  to  man ;  but  are  oiten  used  ill, 
by  being  forced  to  carry  too  heavy  burdens, 
*>r  by  being  driven  too  fast.

COW. 


Cows  supply  us  -with  milk,  of  which  arc 
made  butter  and  cheese;  their  flesh  is  called 
beef ;  of  their  skins  our  shoes  are  made ;  of 
their  horns,  our  combs  ;  and  of  their  tallow, 
our  candles. 


Those  who  endeavor  to  imitate  us,  we  like 
much  better  than  those  who  endeavor  to 
equal  us.  Imitation  is  a  sign  of  esteem,  but 
competition  of  envy.
